<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family:
"arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“<b>Schools
teach children the principles of death and of suffering.
They do not teach them the principles of life, which is
diversity, which is being out there in the world. They teach
them within closed systems, within closed buildings and
walls, separated from the rest of the world. They teach them
that violence is legitimate when it is applied from the top
to the bottom and that it is illegitimate when it is
practised in resistance or defence of diversity and life.
They teach children that humanity is alien to this world,
that success means pleasing those in authority who will own
the products of our flesh, of our effort, of our work, of
our love.” - Layla AbdelRahim </b></span></span></div>
